The 400-plus acres available for economic development at Smyrna Airport holds major appeal for anyone wanting to bring aviation jobs here, officials say.

"We are on the short list for a major aviation company looking for another location in the eastern United States," Smyrna Airport Executive Director John Black said while recently pointing out the available land for lease. "That's something a lot of airports don't have is the ability to expand. We not only have a large economic engine here, we have a lot of potential for future growth."
